   CLINTON C. HENDRY, a general farmer and dairyman, operating
forty-eight acres of land in the town of North Hampton, was born in
Peacham, Vt., October 19, 1851, a son of John and Rachel (Moore) Hendry.
The father, a blacksmith, was a native of Glasgow, Scotland, and the mother
of Bedford, N. H.  In addition to blacksmithing John Hendry was a carriage
builder, forger, and maker of edge tools.  He and his wife had four children:
John, Jane, Frank and Clinton C.
   Clinton C. Hendry in his boyhood attended the common schools of
Peacham, Vt., and afterwards continued his studies at an academy.  He then
engaged in railroad work, on the Boston & Maine Railroad, finally becoming
conductor, which position he held from 1872 to February, 1910.  He then
took up farming on his present place and is doing a successful business, keep-
ing eight head of cattle and shipping his milk to Salem.  He has been a resi-
dent of this town for the last 19 years.  His present farm, which he has
owned for the last four years, is the old Shaw farm and is a good piece of
agricultural property.  Mr. Hendry is a Republican in politics and is frater-
nally connected with the Odd Fellows, the Red Men and the Knights of

union there is one son, Guy Clinton, who is now a student at Middlebury
College, where he is studying for the Congregational ministry.  The family
belong to the Congregational church.
